Counterfeit products are everywhere nowadays, filing the markets
with twin scourges, often very similar, or even fairly
identical to the originals, with almost certainly lower quality but
much cheaper, which makes them very understandably more attractive
for consumers that have no means to purchase the real deal –
the first generation goods.
Counterfeiting Impact worldwide
Some months ago whilst on one of the workshops on
Anti-Counterfeiting I frequently attend, the panellist told the
audience something that got caught in my mind: if you want
to know if a specific product, from a specific brand is trending at
the moment, just take a look at its presence and demand in illegal
markets.
